Guests: Dr. Manny Alvarez & Dr. Amesh Adalja
"All over the country Americans are worried about the Ebola virus. The danger is clear, but somewhat exaggerated - there is no threat of an Ebola epidemic in the USA right now. But what is not exaggerated is the dishonesty of the federal government. We have called for the head of the CDC, Dr. Thomas Frieden, to resign because he has not been telling us the full story about how Ebola is spreading and how it can be contained. The biggest fabrication is that stopping West Africans from coming to the USA would somehow diminish the world's ability to fight Ebola in Africa. That is flat out false. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll asks, 'Would you support restricting entry to the United States by people who have been in affected countries?' A whopping 67% support the travel ban, just 29% percent are opposed. That scientific poll mirrors our BillOReilly.com poll, where just 3% say the government is doing enough to protect Americans from Ebola, while 97% say it is not. People all over the world are getting more concerned. The World Health Organization estimates that up to 10,000 new Ebola cases a week in Africa could happen within the next few months. Here in the USA, a Dallas nurse, who contracted the disease from Liberian Thomas Duncan, has received a blood transfusion from an Ebola survivor. And in Nebraska, Ashoka Mukpo continues to fight for his life after he contracted Ebola in Africa while working for NBC News. The world should be trying to help stop the epidemic in West Africa, but that will be a long process. Preventing West Africans from entering the USA could happen today, but the Obama administration continues to dither and the CDC continues to put out false information. Therefore, concern in America continues to grow."

The Factor welcomed Fox News medical contributor Manny Alvarez, who has also called for Dr. Frieden to resign. "The CDC said that everything would be under control," Alvarez said, "but everything is not under control. We have patients coming over here and one case in Dallas has created chaos. We are not equipped to handle Ebola patients! The federal government has the right to stop anybody coming to this country if they feel they have an infectious problem. We need a General Patton-like doctor at the CDC, not another bureaucrat." But Dr. Amesh Adalja, a specialist in infectious disease, argued that a travel ban is unwarranted and illegal. "There is a treaty that binds countries together to fight outbreaks, and as part of that treaty you are not allowed to enact travel bans. They have been tried in every historical outbreak but they don't even work. Ebola is a disease that is containable if you do the right things."

Guests: Monica Crowley & Kirsten Powers
Monica Crowley and Kirsten Powers also opined on the Ebola situation. "I'm not going to call you hysterical," Powers told The Factor, "but it's bordering on hysterical. We have to remember that we have a different system in the United States than in Liberia and the way you are talking about this is overblown. The idea that we should be shutting down flights is wrong, it's a hysterical reaction." Crowley argued that a temporary travel ban is absolutely necessary. "People in the last century were quarantined at Ellis Island when they had a serious illness. There is nothing wrong with doing that when we are dealing with a virus that is this exotic and this deadly. We can't control our border, but we can shut down flights from West Africa."

Guest: Meghan McCain
Senator John McCain's daughter Meghan McCain, who often disagrees with her dad on social issues, entered the No Spin Zone and endorsed his hawkish foreign policy prescriptions. "I completely agree with my father," she declared. "Everything he and Senator Lindsey Graham said would happen in the Middle East when we left Iraq has happened, and I'm absolutely petrified about what's going on in the Middle East right now. When the American people see what's going on and how brutal ISIS is, there is no other option. We must deal with it."

Guest: John Stossel
Fox Business host and libertarian John Stossel, who contends that the federal government continually violates the Constitution, laid out his arguments. "This country works because of what Jefferson wrote in the Constitution," he began. "The powers rest with the people and we should be wary of giving government too much power. That built the most prosperous country in the world, but now presidents and Congress say it doesn't matter, we can do anything we want. What gives them the right to pass marijuana laws, what gives them the right to ignore the Second Amendment? And Congress is supposed to declare war. If bombing people is a good idea, Congress ought to approve it." The Factor concurred with Stossel's last point, saying, "I have called for a declaration of war against Islamic terrorism, put it up for a vote!"

Guests: Lis Wiehl & Kimberly Guilfoyle
Legal wizards Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle scrutinized the case of Thomas Duncan, the Liberian citizen who died from Ebola in Dallas. His relatives are now threatening to sue the hospital where he died. "In Texas they make it very hard to sue a hospital for medical malpractice," Wiehl reported. "You have to show gross negligence, not just negligence. You would have to show that they knew he had Ebola before sending him home." Guilfoyle agreed that Duncan's family is unlikely to be successful in court. "They're very strict against this type of plaintiff lawsuit in Texas, you have to show willful and wanton disregard. The family could bring a federal civil rights case, but that would also fail."

Guest: Charles Krauthammer
National Security Adviser Susan Rice, who has a history of dissembling, told another whopper Sunday when she claimed that Turkey is committed to the fight against ISIS, which the Turkish government promptly denied. The Factor asked Charles Krauthammer to opine. "I have some advice for Susan Rice," Dr. K said. "She could be an international strategist of Kissengerian proportions, but she should not go on television, it just doesn't work. It is totally inexplicable that the National Security Adviser, whose job is to be the conduit of all information coming from the various foreign policy agencies, should go on television and announce to the world this very crucial agreement. And then, within hours, the Turks say it's not true. It is a monumental mistake, and that it should happen in the middle of a war is truly remarkable." The Factor lamented, "There is a lack of leadership, there is nobody in charge."

Dr. Tom Frieden, the Centers for Disease Control boss who has studiously avoided the No Spin Zone, joined Megyn Kelly Tuesday night. It's must-see-TV, whether live or online.

The Kelly interview is below.

Mimi Breslow, Reno, NV: "O'Reilly, I have finally realized that you're an idiot. Remember the bubonic plague? You don't have a clue how these epidemics are handled. Yes, people will die. But eventually things will get figured out."

Kenneth Bottcher, Valdez, AK: "Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly, for not beating around the bush with Ebola and ISIS. You have been a fountain of common sense."

Rosemary Graham, Myrtle Beach, SC: "O'Reilly, you were borderline psychotic and rude. You should be on medication."
